For this lighting project, I decided to light it as a night time scene. I wanted the cool blues of the night but also have some warmth to make it seem like someone took a break from working and would be right back.

Below are the images I took reference from. I wanted it to be a cool room with warm light streaming in from the door that was left ajar with the lamp turned on, indicating that the room would not be empty for long. Which also makes the room feel a little more lived in.

Below is a paintover by Francesco Giroldini.

This scene was lit using Arnold in Maya and composited in Nuke.

The Attic assets were modeled Alex Mateo, Concept by Jeremy Vickery.
